Rob hears a knock on the door and opens it to see Kenya. "Hey, Kenya" she walks into his apartment.

"Hey, what did you want to talk about? Is it about how you made me look like a wild crazy fangirl at group therapy last night?" Kenya asks

"Hey, what did you want to talk about? Is it about how you made me look like a wild crazy fangirl at group therapy last night?" Kenya asks. "I didn't mean to do that, I'm sorry. I seem to be saying that a lot lately". Rob answers. "I know". "I don't even know where that came from". "Oh yes, you do. You just wanted others to know how much you still matter, but that was not the way to do it". Rob agrees and offers her something to drink.

Kenya looks around Rob's apartment and sees a guitar. "You play guitar?" she asks. "Yeah".

"Now when you say you play, you're actually strumming and playing the strings and not just moving your hands around, right?"

"Now when you say you play, you're actually strumming and playing the strings and not just moving your hands around, right?". Rob laughs as a response."Of course I play for real". "Bet you don't play as well as my man". Rob looks up. "You have a man?". "Yep, Lenny Kravitz". "Oh really? Has Lenny ever sent you flowers and a diamond brooch?" he teases. "No. He did send me some lingerie once...". "What?!". Kenya laughs. "I'm kidding". "Oh, I knew that" he says, giving Kenya a glass of orange juice.

"Actually, I want to tell you about how you were dropping off these gifts to my job" . "You don't like them?" . "I do, it's just I think you should not send them there anymore. We work near a federal building, which is 10 minutes away and security was getting worried that you were dropping off a bomb". Kenya explains. "Oh no. I wasn't trying to blow up anyone." "I know, but they got very scared and when you popped up in the parking lot, it scared me too".

Rob stays silent as Kenya tells him about the whispers on the job. The news has gone around and people wanted to know who was sending the gifts to her. "Oh, this is spreading around". "Are you sure you don't want anyone knowing you live here? News is traveling fast". She looks up at a picture of both Rob and Fab on the table next to him. "I'll tone it down a bit, I don't want you in any trouble". He sees her look at the photo.
